Network Infrastructure Upgrade Project

Hello,
How are you doing today???
I am upgrading a existing network. I am doing everything from network documentation, to virus and security checklist. I am meeting with vendors, upgrading hardware and software. I am installing wireless access to a wired network. I have been documenting each step.
What I am asking, how do I put this project in a MS-Project format.
Let me know...

Thank you,

Hopefully I will not be teaching egg sucking here but a quick PM overview. How detailed do you want your MPP? You could simply put the high level items like Wireless access with a start and end date/effort associated with it. This would not give you any view of the activities and which aspects are putting that task on the critical path.
It sound like you are producing a lot of "things" for your project and each of those things has different activities. I would suggest a Product Breakdown Structure/Work Breakdown Strucutre (Depends if you follow Prince 2 / PMI for these definitions).
If you break each thing down into what it is and where it is derived from using Nouns only (e.g. no doing words), e.g. Network Documentation derived from Network design, Current Network, Hosting systems etc etc and each of these can be defined further.
Once you have drawn out your PBS/WBS with the nouns then you can associate the activities (Verbs) required to complete these nouns (e.g. compile/write Network doc). Put all of these onto sticky notes and then stick them down on large sheets of paper to map against each of the dependencies so you know which activities need to come first.
This detail can then be used to form the activities in your *.mpp where you can insert them and set the effort/duration to give you the plan. This combined with the dependency analysis will give you your critical path and plan.
Hope this helps.
